Recording to an MD
Analog recording technique uses audio connection cables to
input signals from the recording source.
•
If “Protected” appears on the display, the record-protect tab
of the MD is open. Before you start the recording proce-
dure, close the tab. (See page 18.)
•
Data is recorded after the already-recorded area unless you
specify a recording start point.
1. Press the STAND-BY/ON button.
The STAND-BY indicator will turn off.
2. Load a recordable MD.
To check the time remaining for recording...
When the MD recorder is stopped, press the DISPLAY
button. Each press of the DISPLAY button changes the
display as follows:
The number of tracks on the disc and the total recorded
time
→
Available recording time on the disc
→
Disc name
(“No Name” appears if the disc is not named.)
•
If “Protected” appears on the display, the record-protect
tab of the MD is open. Before you start the recording pro-
cedure, close the tab. (See page 18.)
3. Set the INPUT selector to the “Analog”, “MO (mon-
aural)” or “ST (stereo)” position.
The input source is now set to “Analog”.
Monaural recording enables you to record about twice the
duration of stereo recording.
Note:
•
Make sure that the INPUT selector on the MD-2321
and the REC selector on the amplifier are set to an
appropriate recording source.
•
Do not change the INPUT selector setting during
recording.
4. Select the position (track number) on the disc at which
you wish to start recording.
•
To record while erasing the existing tracks on the
disc...
Turn the AMCS knob to select the track number from
which you wish to start recording. (The selected track
number will flash.) The MD recorder will record new
data while erasing that track and subsequent tracks.
•
To record by erasing all existing tracks on the disc...
Select Track 1 via the AMCS knob or after erasing the
entire contents of the disc. (See “Erasing a track” on
page 20.).
If a new disc is used for recording, or if you wish to
record over the existing track(s) on the disc, ignore this
step and proceed to step 5.
5. Play the recording source.
6. Press the
●
REC button.
The MD recorder is now in recording standby mode.
When you record while erasing already-existing data, the
“TRACK” indicator and the number indicators for the
track selected in Step 4 and the subsequent tracks flash.
